North Texas drivers may see monsters on the highways soon.

As part of National Work Zone Safety Week, the company managing construction for the 35Express Project will place a series of 15-foot-tall "barrel monsters" at various locations along the 35Express corridor (between U.S. 380 in Denton and I-635 in Dallas).

The "monsters" are huge and made of those orange and white barrels you see on roadway constructions sites. They're up to remind drivers to drive safely in construction zones.
